master Who Was Veteran.
A General in the revolutionary war,
who was well known to Jackson, says a
writer in the Nashville Amsrican, was
postmaster of a prominent New York
tow. He had been an Adams man, and
Silas Wright, one of the ablest representa-
tives that State ever had. and Martin Van
Buren,, who was then Jackson's Secretary
Of State, formed a coalition to have the
veteran warrior removed soon after Jack
son had taken the oath of office. The
SCARED hero determined to go to see Jack
son and plead his own cause against the
powerful politicians who had determined
to punish him for his advocacy Of
Adams. He called upon jackson at the
White House. The President engaged in
familiar conversation with him, when, to
his amazement the old soldier said: "Gen-
eral jackson, have come here to talk to
you about my office: the politicians want
to take it away from me, and have moth
ing else to live upon" The President
m ade no reply until the aged postmaster
began to take off his coat in the most ex-
cited manner, when Old Hickory broke
out with the inquiry: "What in Heavens
name are you going to dos" "Well, sir,

was the reply. ~ am surprised that

iron President were suffused with tears
as, without another word, he babe his
ancient foe good evening The next day
Wright called upon the President and
made out his case against the General
and urged his removal upon the strongest
grounds. He had hardly finished the last
sentence when Jackson sprang to his feet,
flung his pipe into the fire, and exclaimed
with great vehemence: Il take the conse-
Quences, sir, take the consequences. By
the Eternal! l will not remove the old
man. I can not remove him. Why, Mr..
Wright, do you know that he carries more

That was the last of it. He who was stronger
than courts, courtlers or Cabinets pro-
nounced his fiat, and the happy old post
master next day took the stage and re-
turned home rejoicing

LIMA BEAN CULTURE.

Directions for Obtaining a Large Crop of
the Best Quality.
The Lima bean requires warm,
loose soil, we'll drained, and if the
ground is ridged up well in the fall in
five-foot beds, SO much the better.
Then, as soon as the soil will work
nicely. clean out the burrows which
have been left to carry off the water,
with a pillow, going up and back on
each one. If the place is where celery
was grown the year before, so much
the better. Then, on the bottom, lay
along, at a liberal thickness, some
coarse cornstalks from the cow-yard.
Then fold a furrow over them from
each side. Then put liberal sprinkling
of good mixed barnyard manure on
top. Then, with a garden rake, get on
the opposite side and pull the best
soft soil to the center. Let the sun
into it few days. Then sprinkle on
some wood-ashes, chicken manure, or
any thing of good fertilizing charac-
ter which practical men we'll know
puts life and vim into the product; and
when the soil is well warmed up, run
two light, thin burrows with hand
cultivator, double. rows, in the center
of the bed, just over where the corn
stalks are, about foot deep and five
feet apart Drop the Ii ma bean seeds
a foot apart, and cover one and one
half to two inches deep with very fine
soil, raked over lightly.
After they are up, say five inches
high. and Just as they are breaking out
to run. take a one-horse pillow and pillow
a good furrow deep, away from each
side of the double row. Then take some
good fiat pea-brush and push it down in
each furrow, so that it leans little to
the center, and making the two rows
60 along together, inter-bind them,
and when the rows are stuck through,
turn the burrows back, blowing up
against the sticks as close as the horse
can walk; then press with the foot,
having hoe in hand. careful to handle
the beans inside and give each good
chance.
One season of this treatment will
convince the grower that the ten-foot
bean pole, where a ladder or chair is
needed to gather them. has gone out of
date; and, beside, all the blossoms that
hang in the shade are not so likely to
fall off by the action of the sun, wind
and rain. as those exposed to the
weather by the pole system. Joseph

perence of the past season pointed out as
necessary Prior to the meeting The work
of amending the rules each season had been
done by the delegates to the annual meet
1ugs of each organization and the result
was not only two different codes of rules,
but crude and unsatisfactory amendments
which frequently had to be changed before
the close of the ensuing season. Under the
new order of things. however, the promise
is that the work of the conference commit
tee will be found sufficiently practical as to
render changes unnecessary until the next
annual meeting. A primary object the
committee had in view in framing new
code of playing rules was to in
troduce such amendments as would
lessen the Individual responsibility
of the umpire in his render
ing of decisions in disputed points, and
transfer it to the code itself, thereby re-
ducing the chances of disputing decisions.
The first thing the pitcher will have to at
tend to. in studying up the new rules. is
the method of taking his stand in the box
preparatory to delivering the ball to the
bat. Formerly he could hide the ball be-
hind his back--which he is now prohibited
from doing-and could stand within the
lines of his position in such way as to
admit of his taking one or two steps in de-
livery. as his position was then space
seven feet by four in extent. besides which
he had the privilege of lifting his feet. All
this is now prohibited under the new code.
AS the rule now is, he must take his stand,
when about to deliver the ball. within the
lines of space of ground only five feet SIX
inches by four feet. 1t will be seen at a
glance that the position is very different
from that in vogue last season. In
the first place, the pitcher is now
required to keep his right foot

NEW YORK. Jan. 6.-Base bali has come
to be a game of all the year round. not only
for players. but for the public. No sooner
is the season ended in the fall than the in
terest in the next season begins to be active.
In fact, owing to the scheming of local man
ayers everywhere to secure frst-rate playe rs
for another year, the interest may be Said
to be continuous. Then, after the records
have been figured up and every players
comparative position known in the league
and association, and in state and district
associations, comes the legislation for the
spring. With every year this feature OF
the game becomes more important and in
terestng. and the results Of the meetings OF
the lawmakers are as full of verbiage and
tautology as an indictment for murder.
Bye and bye some enthusi asst will point to
this fact and assert that base ball is an ex-
cellent mental discipline. Well. it may be
so. even Oh the field. for what amateur or
professional has not racked his brain
as he stood at the bat to dis
cover what the pitcher was doing and
going to do with the ball twisted up III his
hands behind his back? And who does not
declare stealing bases and strategic pitching
a mental exercise fails to comprehend the
spirit of the national game. The player OF
the professional sort has little vacation

ments of his station. The training Is IN

code, therefore, greater latitude is given
the pitcher in this respect. as he is now
only called upon to send in balls not higher
than the batsman's shoulder, or lower than
his knee and every such ball is now fair
ball, provided of course, that it at the same
time passes over the home plate. This IS
one of the most important and radical
changes made III the rules for some years
past, and though it may bother few bats
men at first. it will ultimately be of adj
vantage to them. One benefit it yields is
that Of relieving the umpire Of very diff
cult part of his duties. while at the same
time it affords the pitcher greater facility
for strategic skill in his position.
I'm regard to the new rules of the new
CODE which refer 10 committing 'balk.
the pitcher is far more circumscribed in his
movements than he was last year. The
new code includes the American association
rules OF 1856, which are as follows: "A
balk is any motion made by the pitcher to
deliver the ball to the bat without deliver
ing it, and shall be held to include any and
every accustomed motion with the hands,
arms or feet, or position of the body
assumed by the pitcher in his delivery of
the ball. and any motion calculated to de-
ceive a base runner, unless the bali he ncci-
lentally dropped; if the bali be held by

bon is upon ground outside the lines of his
position, including all preliminary motions
with the hands. arms and feet
The only amendment introduced in the
American rules by the new code is the
clause. and any motion calculated to de-
deive base runner 1t will be readily
seen that stealing bases under this rule will
ilOt be as difficult as it was under the absurd
ruling in vogue the latter part of last
season.

his left if a left-handed pitcher. standing on
the rear line of his pos ition, and he is not
allowed to lift his feet until the ball leaves
his hand. In reality he cannot pitch or
throw the ball until his foot is on the
ground. as it is from the pressure of this
foot on the ground that he derives the
power to give the last impetus to the ball in
delivering it. He is also required to hold
the ball so that it can be seen in his hand
by the umpire"
Gin such a narrow box will not the
pitcher find it impossible to take the short
run that has characterized the work of some
of them in the past?"
Exactly. Besides keeping his right foot
Or left foot. as the case may be-on the
line, he is now prohibited from taking more
than one step in the delivery, and when
taking this one step his forward foot must
touch the ground to the left Of the center
line Of his position"
ill these rules make any material diff
ference in the effect of the pitchers deliv-
ery?"
Decidedly yes. The changes are very
important, the main effect of them being to
force the pitcher to learn to obtain better
command of the ball in delivery; and they
asa have the effect of reducing his power
to send in very swift balls. The double
code, while it enabled him to attain greater
speed IN delivery, necessarily obliged him to
sacrifice accuracy of aim and tear of catch
ers, besides placing the batsman in the po-
sition of being obliged to devote nearly all
his attention TO avoid being severely hurt
by being hit by the pitched ball.
THE changes as interpreted by you will
not seem to be severe on the pitchers who
cling nearly to the old style of pitching,
wherein the arm is swung on level with
or below the hip. How about those who
throw the baIl?"
